Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
5 pages in length. The relationship between Biff and Willy Loman in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman has long been the focus of close analysis, with myriad elements culminating all at once to fashion a comprehensive appreciation for and understanding of their troubled yet inextricable bond. In short, Biff is the product of his father, a man who has worked his entire life toward a goal even he cannot articulate; his desire to achieve wondrous success is wholly precluded by his perpetual negativity. Biff, who sees this reflection in himself, tries to escape what he perceives to be impenetrable barriers created by his father, when in truth he is the only one standing in his own way. That neither man can put a finger on why his life is worthwhile speaks to the insecurity and self-loathing Willy has passed down to his son Biff. No additional sources cited.
